10 things to do in Jodhpur
Hello, everyone! I am giving away all my secrets from a recent, super chill weekend trip to Jodhpur. I am leaving out the already popular sight seeing spots that every other travel portal will have listed. These recommendations are based on personal experience and therefore, are a little more specific. So, here are the 10 things I did in Jodhpur and you should too:
#1. Hang around the Clock Tower
It is the only still thing in the middle of the busy main market.#2. Shop for local knick-knacks and bandhini
Don't expect to find an extra ordinary market, but there's plenty of local trinkets you can buy. There are quite a few saree shops you can buy tie and dye sarees.#3. Slip into a brief coma with Makhaniya Lassi
I am not sure if this is a recommendation or a warning. The quantity of butter in that lassi is unreal. The most famous shop is bang opposite the Clock Tower.
Dare to venture into the narrow lanes around the clock tower, you won't regret it.

#5. Take in Jodhpur’s aerial view at Mehrangarh Fort
You might be greeted by a talented duo of folk singers on your way out and they'd ABSOLUTELY love if you stop for a picture with them!

#6. Try EVERYTHING you can at Janta Sweet House
One of the oldest sweet shops in Jodhpur, trust Janta Sweet House for lip smacking samosas and Kachoris, dhokla, khandvi, and sweets.

Also, if you’re looking for a budget stay option in Jodhpur, Devi Bhawan is a lovely property with tariff starting at 3000 bucks a night. Find details here.
#7. Marvel at the magnificence of Umaid Bhawan Palace
My only tip here is take a guide with you. The museum tour is nothing without the stories.#8. Buy leather juttis at Mehrangarh Fort
I stopped for them on my way out of the Mehrangarh Fort and these are hands down the prettiest and the comfiest juttis I have come across. Even though the prices are fixed, a pair shouldn't cost you more than 400-500 bucks.
Pal Haveli will give you a great view of the lit up Mehrangarh Fort and a super-romantic candle lit setting, in addition to great food.
The Recipe is voted one of the most preferred restaurants in Jodhpur by the locals. While I enjoyed the pizza and the North Indian food, it is the coconut icecream I'd go back for.
